HYGGE {hue-gah} LIVING
I have’t written in awhile and this morning I finally felt the creative juices flowing so here I am :)
I love this word!
h y g g e
Pronounced hue-gah. Danish. The ritual of enjoying life’s simple pleasures. It means to be COZY, to practice self-care, to feel connected to yourself and others, to have a sense of community, to be in the moment. It’s translation loosely means wellness or well-being.
I have always loved this word and feel my best when I am embracing the HYGGE LIFESTYLE. Instead of living on autopilot; the HYGGE LIFESTYLE encourages us to connect to what brings us happiness and joy and to include those things into our daily lives.
Here are some simple ways to add more HYGGE into your life
Create a home that speaks to your soul. Forget the trends! Create a cozy home that that allows you to rest and recharge but that also inspires YOU. Use soft lighting and candles, buy fresh flowers and sage. Create a cozy nook in your home to read, journal, meditate, or drink tea.
Start a bullet journal. Include daily to do lists, must try restaurants, shows you want to see, places you want to visit, a daily gratitude list, and recipes to try. Bullet all the things you are proud of yourself for. Bullet all the things that make you happy. Bullet new hobbies you want to try.
Listen to music while you cook!
Take a walk outside in nature.
Watch the sunrise or the sunset.
Stock your kitchen with Whole Foods - Batch Soup, warm veggies, dark chocolates for dessert!
Meal plan.
Call a friend just to chat. CONNECT.
Read a book
Spring clean, de-clutter
Open your windows. Let the breeze and the light in!
Keep a bowl of fresh fruit out.
Write a letter to someone or to yourself!
Create a morning routine.
Create an evening routine.
HYGGE inspires us to SLOW DOWN. To nourish ourselves in the simplest ways. It inspires us to be mindful, to awaken our senses. HYGGE is all about enjoying the simple things in life!
